After the New Orleans Saints started the season in the dumps, they have started to pick up some wins after replacing Dennis Allen. In seemingly classic Saints fashion, they don’t have a great shot at the playoffs and look destined to pick up enough wins for a fringe-top 10 draft selection.
Darren Rizzi is somehow 3-1 as the New Orleans head coach and has the team at 5-8 overall. They picked up a close win over the New York Giants this past weekend and rose up the draft order again.
The Saints could be back into tank mode for the 2025 NFL draft, though, after Derek Carr suffered a hand injury that could keep him out for the rest of the season. Either they start to lose and help their draft stock or they win and build some momentum with a young quarterback in Carr’s stead.
Here is a look at where New Orleans stands after the Week 14 victory and their full draft order projection from Tankathon:
- Round 1, No. 10 overall
- Round 2, No. 44 overall
- Round 3, No. 75 overall
- Round 3, No. 87 overall
- Round 4, No. 111 overall
- Round 4, No. 123 overall
- Round 6, No. 187 overall
- Round 7, No. 253 overall
The Saints could be looking at another drop in the draft order this weekend as they have a tough game against the Washington Commanders on Dec. 15 at Noon CT/1 p.m. ET.
